Why I woke up humming the theme tune to 1980s Paul Daniels game show Every Second Counts is anyone’s guess. I’m thinking of donating my brain to medical science but not sure they’d want it.

Ugh, is Esther McVey still a thing? Bore off.
It was called Del Marco. Sandwiches and upmarket coffees, with a shiny floor.
One of the best answers ever given on a game show. I forget which.

Vengaboys were good fun but the IBITZA pronunciation was a red line for me #TOTP
I wonder if they're all still friends… #TOTP

Who is Emma Ledden? Not a clue. #TOTP
At this point in 1999, I was working in a Pret-style coffee shop in Bournemouth. You’ve not known stress until you’ve tried to explain the new-fangled concept of cappuccinos, lattes and mochas to a coach load of pensioners who want "Six coffees and three teas, and have you got any biscuits?" #TOTP
I’m calling for tickets but all I can hear is someone downstairs trying to connect to the internet #TOTP
Bailamos = "We dance" in Portuguese

Tonight’s first #TOTP from the "Isis in Nottingham". Hello to the security services who are now reading this post.

If those astronauts were British, they’d have all clapped on #splashdown #ArtemisII
In actual floods of tears watching episode 6. This show has choked me up. The intricacies, the micro gestures – hard to believe it’s not real. And I love how they still mostly call each other by their surnames. Says so much about how tough it is for them to let go. #HeatedRivalry
They would have had to be tried as children anyway and probably would have got off #TOTP
The A-Teens are now in their A-Forties, and sadly the statute of limitations means they can no longer be arrested for this criminal record #TOTP

I think I just don’t like her stuff at all #TOTP
It really is shite. Even for her solo stuff, all of which was dire. #TOTP
Not to be confused with the Shaft who had a hit with Roobarb And Custard in 1991. And nothing to do with Isaac Hayes or Robert Kilroy-Silk. #TOTP
Mi chico lati-no thanks #TOTP
You're quite right!
ACTUAL banks!
Can confirm! #TOTP
